How do I get rid of adware on my computer?

bingding81 asked:
I installed Ad-Aware on my computer, and it doesn’t detect any suspicious files. Yet adware pops up whenever I open Internet Explorer. I use Firefox primarily, but I’d like to get rid of the adware on Explorer still. Is there a preferences folder I can get into and delete the file(s) manually? I even reinstalled Windows XP on my computer and still the adware remains.
